Damage In Tolland Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Enjoy your stiff NE winds while I'm sitting nicely in 80's and sunGibbs thinks cold wet June and cold summer overall. I honestly hope he's wrong but have a bad feeling we are going to have a lot of 50's and cold sectors this summer. That will mean DC will be a hot bed for severe while we rot in a miserable summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will mean DC will be a hot bed for severe while we rot in a miserable summer Below-average actually isn't bad for us in terms of severe. It would depend on the pattern...below-average temps could mean we are plagued by troughing and cold pools. It could also mean we are on the northern edge of the ridge...right into the strong westerlies. All depends on what's causing the below-average temps..if it's b/c a high pressure to our north and east well than yeah...suckage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hey Wiz... check out this new paper that appeared in WAF about NE US severe storms. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/hurlbut/ne-svr.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Cool paper. Hopefully we can get some actual thunder this year. Maybe it wasn't bad for CT...but last summer was horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If you can access it... the Wurman paper in BAMS on the El Reno tornado is fantastic too. It will put you in the severe mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Where I live now tends to do "fairly" well for tstms. There is a corridor from like srn ORH county through Norfolk and nrn PYM county that seems to benefit from s coast seabreeze. I've seen it enough to not think it's anecdotal. Sometimes you also get these outflows coming off of BOS harbor to fire stuff up too. There is a water tower less than 1/4sm from my house...that has to get nailed by lightning..lol.

CT Rain Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I just pulled up some of the level 2 radar data from the bizarre July 21, 2003 tornado outbreak. What did we do before super res data!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Long track bookend vortex tornado in Bennington VT 7/21/2003. Produced F2 damage in NY and F1 damage for a 25 mile track in S VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 lolz - this puny storm (ET around 30kft) produced an F2 tornado in Torrington. This thing was like a microsupercell. Upper left and right is 0.5º BR/SRV and lower left and right is 1.5º BR/SRV, respectively. Delta-V approached 50 knots before it dropped the F2 in Torrington. It also produced an F1 in Washington CT earlier. What a weird looking storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I had no idea this tornado even existed... the day of the F4 in Great Barrington on Memorial Day 1995 there was this F1 in Southbury. Didn't do much damage but damn that was an impressive discrete supercell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ryan, If you see this do you think at some point this week you could get me a radar image from May 31st, 1998. Particularly perhaps focused on CT (could also include E NY and W MA) from around like 8-9 PM. I'm particularly interested in this timeframe b/c I remember a pretty nasty supercell which was moving through either southern Litchfield or northern Fairfiled county which had a tornado wanring associated with it. I believe it was a discrete cell as well and the track had it coming pretty close to the Hartford area. I want to say maybe like 8:20 PM or so?
